It's Lauren La Rosa, and this is the latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Starting point is 00:03:11 This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, and entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. It's so crazy, because I just hit record to do this intro. I'm in the car right now. We are headed to the mountains somewhere. We're celebrating and bringing in the New Year. here with Bozma and her friends and all of her family. We are here in Ghana.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I've been here since it's been like, it feels like forever, but it also feels like I just got here because it's just such a good time. We've been here for about two days. So we've been doing rewinds on the podcast, and this is my first time doing this intro since, like, Christmas. I've pre-recorded so much content for you guys, make sure you just had something. And I started smiling. I'm like, y'all, this year we really.
Starting point is 00:03:58 We were podcasted this year. We really did this. So currently, you guys will hear it in the background. Let me put the window down so you can hear more of it. So we are riding through a night market in Ghana currently in traffic as we head to Bowes, Bozma, St. John, and her booth thing, Kili, y'all know I was all up in her business when she came to the breakfast club. Formerly of, well, not even formally, she's still there. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah, I don't know. It's just a good feeling to get back on here, hop in and do the intro real quick. I promise you guys be bringing you all new episodes, of course. But before we do that, I did want to make sure we took a rewind, took a second to look back. Because I said this year we were podcasting, but y'all this year really, really laid a foundation that I'm so proud of here at the latest with Lauren the Rose of the podcast. and I went back and went through and pulled our top 10 episodes from the year, Lowriders. Let me tell y'all, we started off this year because the podcast turns one in March.
Starting point is 00:05:09 So we started off 2025 just as an idea. We launched in March and we are now over 8 million listeners strong going into 2026. I am so excited for us. So just real quick, I know that there's been a lot going on. in the news and you guys haven't really heard from me. I did want to take some time to send some love and some prayers to Anthony Joshua and his family and his team. That's the boxer from the UK who got into the accident. I know his family's from Nigeria, though, got into the accident, the car accident in Nigeria and reportedly lost two people very close to him,
Starting point is 00:05:48 including people from his training team. And that happened, you know, within the last like 24 hours. hours as well. So there's been a lot of news breaking around that. And a lot of people I know have actually traveled back. People who I know who are from Nigeria and Ghana, they've traveled back home to bring in the new year and because of the holidays. So I can't imagine, you know, what he's dealing with just kind of, you know, trying to figure all of this stuff out as he heads into the new year. So I wanted to open with that. And then, you know, bringing in some more lighter news, Beyonce is a billionaire. I've been seeing that everywhere. But Matthew Knowles told you all a minute to go back in I think it was like
Starting point is 00:06:27 2018 he sat down with Vlad and he said Beyonce been a billionaire I'm sorry I said Millionaire. Let me get this right on Beyonce's internet. Beyonce is a billionaire officially according to Forbes who announced this within the last 24 hours as well but Matthew Knows told us a long

Starting point is 00:11:25 home. I just want to remind everyone how good Rishie Rice was last season and these three healthy games. He was the wide receiver 2 and fantasy. I think Rishie Rice goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. This side, touchdown! Remandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup
Starting point is 00:11:41 where I think I can slide in in Stevens into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off.

It follows a few unlikely, but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become. and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman.
Starting point is 00:12:22 We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The big short story, what it means when people start betting against the market,

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health. and gynecology at the Adria Health Institute in New York City. On this show, I'll be talking
Starting point is 00:13:18 to top researchers and top clinicians asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD? There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:14:03 or wherever you're listening now. family secrets. We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the
Starting point is 00:14:51 incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And then Donald Trump decides to get on true social and respond to Charlemagne, who went on Fox News and said this. Let's take a listen. I do think, and this is a, I think that, I think that conservative, traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I think there's a political coup right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I think that this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back. I really do. I think that I think that they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go. And for the first time, they know they can, you know, probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I think, I think they're going to do that. Well, I would say, you know, we've never seen a typical election since the day that Donald Trump came down, the golden escalator. So I don't know that we'll ever see another typical kind of traditional election with traditional Republicans. I don't know. I feel like things have changed. The game changed. And to say that the old guard is going to kind of come back, that's a lot. That's a big statement.
Starting point is 00:16:29 But that's a mistake Republicans are going to make. Republicans are going to make the same mistake that Democrats made. And I'll tell you what I mean by that. Barack Obama was a one-of-one once-in-a-lifetime, you know, political juggernaut. And since Barack Obama, every Democrat has tried to be Barack Obama. You're not Barack Obama. You've got to be yourself. It's going to be the same thing we're Republicans.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Say what you want. Donald Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime, one-on-one political juggernaut. You're not going to be Donald Trump. So if you think you're going to be able to do what Donald Trump has done, talk the way Donald Trump is talking, get away with what Trump has got away with. It's not going to happen. So everybody right now, we have the opportunity to have like a huge reset. I think you should blow it all up.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I think that people are really sick and tired of what we've been presented from both parties. By the way, we knew this before the last election. They were telling us that like 70% of people did not want to see a rematch between Trump are Biden. So it's like we know we want something different. Everybody wants something different. So I think that if Democrats keep doing the same old thing, they're going to keep getting the same results. Republicans, you know, think that they can repeat what has been done and don't try to give the people something new, they're going to get the results they don't want.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Now, here's the thing. This is not anything that Charlemagne has not been saying for, I think, when I would say, for the last month, maybe two months, he's been having this conversation about Epstein and why Democrats should not let up on it, why this should be, you know, the hot button topic that Democrats lean in on the same way that Republicans lean in on, you know, transgender conversations and you know all those things right like they have their topic that they lean in on heavily they use it to incite the masses and get people listening and show okay here's what we can do and they're changing laws and changing rules and all these things that has been
Starting point is 00:18:18 sholamane's point for the last like two months right and he's been saying it and yelling it and screaming it but baby when he sat across from laura trump and said it oh the people is upset i tweeted out just the videos from the interview, and I ain't never seen, I thought the Shaveham comments got messy, baby. I ain't never seen that many people arguing about the things. You got some people feeling like Donald Trump gathered Charlemagne. You got some people feeling like I've literally one girl said I've never wanted Charlemagne to be right as much as I want him to be right about what he just said on Fox News with Laura Trump. And I think the reason is, I mean, to his point, some of y'all thought that, you know, having Donald Trump in office would be the key to whatever it is that you need,
Starting point is 00:19:03 whether it's more money in your household, the price of groceries going down, you know, being able to go work a job and, you know, not be targeted because you're a person of color working that job, and I feel like you're just checking the box under DEI, and just having DEI even exist so that you could even walk through the doors of the job. Let's talk about that, right? But other people feel like the complete opposite. Now, let's get into what Trump actually said. Trump got on truth social, which is his version of X. And he said, the wonderful and talented Laura Trump, whose show is big rating success, put racist sleeves bags, Charlemagne the guide. First of all, I don't even believe that black people can be racist, but that's a whole
Starting point is 00:19:40 another conversation, argue with your mom. And he put in parentheses, why is he allowed to use the word God? At least he capitalized God, because you should, when describing himself. Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I use that nickname? He doesn't have to. He's already positioned himself well above dictatorship. He's a low IQ individual. He has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and he knows nothing about me or what I've done. Trump then continues, like just ending five wars,
Starting point is 00:20:10 including, mind you, let me just say for clarification here and for all purposes, I don't know if any of this is true. I am not the, you know, political voice or face. I know enough to get me to the ballot. I know enough to try and keep me safe. In this last election, it did not work, but I know enough, right? But I don't know if all this is true, and we know that President Trump loves to trump things and speak very President Trump-ish, but he lists some things that he says that he's done.
Starting point is 00:20:39 So President Trump says he's ended five wars, including a 31-year bloodbath between Republicans of the Congo and Rwanda, where 7 million people have died, and there was no end in sight. He didn't know that, or India and Pakistan, or wiping out Iran's nuclear nuclear capability. I know that, you know, he sent the strikes over there to Iran or closing the horrendous open border or creating the greatest economy where prices and inflation have come way down and we're stupid and he put stupid in caps and corrupt corrupt in caps. Joe Biden, of course, Joe Biden is in all caps, set the record for doing the worst job as president ever, ever isn't all caps.
Starting point is 00:21:22 But let's not shy away from the fact that Charlemagne actually saying. while they're on Fox News that he's been critical of Joe Biden as well. Let's take and listen to that. At the end of the day, man, regardless of who's in the White House, that person represents all of America. And I reserve the right to criticize both parties.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Well, Ann, I would say that person is a representative of America, and we should all want that person to succeed for America, right? No matter your political viewpoints, right? 100% agree. Like when you ask me, you know, what do I think Trump has done, President Trump has done over the last six months, I don't want to say that I think he did a terrible job, but if he's doing a terrible job, I got to call it like it is. And if it was a Democrat... I would respectfully disagree with you on that. But that's okay. You can have your
Starting point is 00:22:07 viewpoint. But if it was a... I gave President Biden the same hell, too, you know, because I didn't think he was doing a good job. All we want is somebody in those positions that's going to do a good job. I'm not a party person in no way, shape, before him. I want to say I'm an independent, but that don't make no sense because there's only two parties in this country, right? So you're going to end up voting for one of the other. Trump continues, but this dope, Charlemagne, I'm surprised if he's saying he thinks Charlemagne is dope or is he saying that like Charlemagne is on dope. But this dope, Charlemagne, will vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Remember, one year ago, our country was dead. Dead is in all caps. Now it's the hottest, because hottest is in all caps. Country anywhere in the world, MAGA. We also got to remember, too, that some time ago, Charlemagne was getting dragged. I mean, every auntie, every black church, every political head, black, white, or indifferent, that was, you know, for the Dems, especially if you were black. Charlemagne wasn't your friend. Y'all remember that?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Because he was saying things like this. Donald Trump shows me what's politically possible. Trump shows me what presidents can do if they want to do it. Donald Trump shows me what can be said if you are willing to say it. It's not about what can't be done. It's about who has the political will to do it. I don't want to hear a peep from Democrats about nothing until they get the borg. say was really on their mind in regards to this country and this world.
Starting point is 00:23:25 So for people to use this as a moment of a, but wait, weren't you all for Sleepy Joe and all the things and we got to get Charlemagne up out of here? To be honest with y'all, the day that Kamala won, the Breakfast Club, broadcast it from D.C. We broadcast it from Howard University and, you know, it was supposed to be historic. Like Kamala Harris was going to win the election, black woman. and, you know, after defeating Donald Trump and we would be at Howard University, her alma mater, and, you know, all things Black would go down in celebration,
Starting point is 00:23:57 and we were there, and it just didn't feel like that was what was going to happen after a while. And you're there in real time watching it happen. We ended up leaving before she was even able to come out and make the small remarks. No, I don't even think she came out and made remarks that night. But we ended up leaving nonetheless. We left before the actual voter night ceremony
Starting point is 00:24:17 at Howard University was over. But I remember we broadcast it from Merlin the next morning. And I remember Texan Charlemagne and saying, what are you going to get on air and say tomorrow? Because everybody listens to you when it comes to politics. Everybody I know listens to Charlamagne. And I don't think it's because, because I think here when Trump is talking about IQ and what he does or he doesn't know, I think a lot of times with politics, and Charlemagne has actually credited Donald Trump for doing this, a lot of times with politics, people would like to make it seem like if you don't know everything. everything. If you can't rattle off every poll number or every mass world event, you shouldn't be speaking and people should not be listening to you. But ironically enough, what Charlemagne has
Starting point is 00:25:01 given Donald Trump credit for is going right through that and making it clear that that is not true. But Donald Trump is using the same rhetoric that people will throw at everyday people. And honestly, that a lot of the Democrats have got, have gotten shit for, right? Because a lot of the Democrats, people like to say they're elitist. They only want to talk and listen to each other. And when I say each other, I mean those people that I mentioned, the people who can rattle off all the numbers and all this, not the everyday people who are going through these things who, they might not know everything, but they know what they're experiencing every single day. And I think Donald Trump is missing the fact that, because even Laura
Starting point is 00:25:38 Trump said it on her show, Donald Trump is missing the fact that the everyday people, the listener to the breakfast club, to a voice like a showlamy and the God who is tuned in every day who is relying on you to get information. So information, of course, and factual information is always important. But people just want to hear from someone who they believe, feel them, that they can trust. And he has become that. Donald Trump is making a scene like he doesn't understand that or know that. But baby, Donald Trump ain't taking his time to type out this paragraph, this essay, this thesis, if he didn't believe it. I think the irony of politics always end up showing their hands because how ironic that Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:26:17 use the Breakfast Club, right, to lean in to that hot button topic to try and help him create commercial ads to win the campaign against Kamala Harris. Y'all remember this? Kamala supports taxpayer-funded, sex changes for prisoners. Surgery. For prisoners. For prisoners. Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access. Hell, no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that. Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail without money.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Kamala even supports letting biological money. men compete against our girls and their sports. Kamala is for they them. President Trump is for you. I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve this message. But at the same time, the minute that Charlemagne disagrees and honestly, the disagreement wasn't even like a biased disagreement. It was very fair. It was I have the right to criticize and I don't believe that you were doing a good job. And so here's what I'm going to do, right? But the minute that he hears that on a platform that, you know, he obviously wants to promote Laura Trump, his daughter-in-law, so he's, He's going to lean in. He's going to pay attention. He's going to give it light. He does.
Starting point is 00:27:20 But it's insane because the same person that has this low, he said, low IQ and has no idea of the words that are coming out of his mouth, you ran these ads, Donald Trump for about a good six months, like a very long time. To the point where anywhere I went, whether I was in church, I was with my family, it was a family cookout, the reunion, you had the aunties mad at Sister Charlene, Charlemagne de God, okay? baby all his I talk a lot about him not having a hairline he might have grew one back from the stress if he leaned into the amount of people who were upset at the breakfast club for that Trump ad because it was taken out of context
Starting point is 00:27:59 number one they were never campaigning for Trump or anything that he was doing they were having a conversation about some of the trans law and trans conversation but it's just ironic right but that's how this politics thing go and that's what I'm beginning to learn is like all this is a facade people don't really know who they're against
Starting point is 00:28:17 who they're with, nothing at all. There was one part of this interview, though, that I feel like a lot of people are not going to focus on because it's not the, hey, this is the argument between Trump and Charlemagne Point. It is not the catty housewives vibe. But to my point of focusing on the people and what the people actually care for
Starting point is 00:28:38 and what the people actually want done and finding a person who actually cares about that and wants to get it done and not just their hot button topic and using people when it makes sense for them and going against these people or going at these people when it makes sense for them, right?
Starting point is 00:28:50 Donald Trump talks about fake news and how the news is sensationalized and he just, you know, got this settlement, this huge settlement, right? Because he claimed that 60 Minutes altered a Kamala Harris interview by editing the interview. Essentially, that leans it to him feeling like
Starting point is 00:29:08 the news was going to be reported or displayed in a very disproportionate way. I think that it's funny that then you see Donald Trump, Right now, if you were a person who did not, and I don't know how you wouldn't if you're under, maybe you're under a rock, but if you're a person right now who knows nothing about the breakfast club,
Starting point is 00:29:26 nothing about Charlemagne and God, you would think that Charlemagne is this non-neutral, heavily critical Trump hater. And I mean, we're not throwing out, we love you, welcome back, due to Harlem Shake on the Mace, welcome back, Donald Trump party when the man walked back in the office. But I think if we're being honest, a lot of people have had to come around to the point of the president is the president.

I just want to remind everyone how good Rishie Rice was last season.
Starting point is 00:31:43 And there's three healthy games. He was the wide receiver two in fantasy. I think Rishi Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Their side, touchdown! Remandry Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position, and he could deliver double-digit points this week.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Drake takes the snap, hands it off. Remodry running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown! It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Adriah Health Institute in New York City.
Starting point is 00:34:28 On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians, asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD?
Starting point is 00:34:59 There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. So I show all of this to you guys to say, Andy Cohen, you are focused on the wrong thing, baby. We need the real husbands of the White House, the real girls of the White House, and we need an ASAP, because that's where all the drama is. One thing Donald Trump knows how to do is start up a storyline. because as y'all see when he wants to use your voice he uses it when he wants to use your voice
Starting point is 00:35:42 in another way he uses it i don't know i'm feeling the real husbands of the white house i don't know how y'all are feeling or the real girls of the white house because that's very catty this gives like this is bitter baby mama energy okay and my price expect more of the man who is in my white house but again he also left out a lot of words in in this uh true social post he also left out a lot of grammar in this true social post he also left out a lot of like common sense in this truth social post so what do we expect now if i'm taking it to the streets in the tweets you for the tweets we outside we outside every other page i go i told y'all that i posted this as news make sure you guys are follow me everywhere it's la rosa everywhere and loren the rosa iconic on ticot i do things that get
Starting point is 00:36:33 the people going online as well as far as posting my stories i know And when I do it, I don't do it to, you know, get into the Trump of all of the things. Like, I'm not trying to incite no riots. You know, I'm just trying to cause good conversation because that's what we do here at the latest, right? So when I posted this, I simply said, hey, and I tagged Charlemagne, Donald Trump is mad at you. And then I said, you know, Trump is taking shots at Charlemagne, the guy via true social, following a Fox News sit down that he did. We are currently at almost 20,000 views. And that's, like, I literally just did this, so it'll go bigger.
Starting point is 00:37:09 But, man, people are going crazy. So, Uchay, I believe that's how you say. You say, said, quick, somebody sent Trump a book on a 5% lesson since he's so confused about someone using the God moniker. And then someone else, yeah, I'm Stacey, he said, but yet he used Charlotte for his campaign, ran paid ads with him and Envy's words to manipulate his fan base, fraud. Woke and present on X said, what makes him low-eye? talking about Charlemagne.
Starting point is 00:37:36 What makes him a low IQ individual? Did Trump see his IQ results from the IQ test that he took? Or is it simply because he's black? Well, let me tell you something, woke and present. Charlemagne is a little slow. But I don't think that Trump has seen an IQ test. I think Charlemagne just wanted to throw something at him to get him going. Because, again, nothing was low IQ when he was using that ad to help him get seated where he is right now.
Starting point is 00:38:01 It's just so funny to me when people like to act like they don't understand the power. power of black voice, the power of certain individuals. There was a list going of black men that the black community did not want to see talk about politics anymore. It was like a, these people don't stand for us. So stop inviting them on your platform. And Charlaman was one of the people. I don't agree with that. And it's not just because I work at the breakfast club. This is something that even prior to, it was very clear to see that in a political space when you're talking black voice, there are talking hags, which is why a Biden comes on the breakfast Club and not even just talking heads, but black spaces.
Starting point is 00:38:38 There is no space right now in media that is as mass, as wide-ranging, as big, as diverse, and as long-running as the Breakfast Club. I challenge you guys, right, if you can find a media platform that reaches as many people, that covers as many wide-range topics, that has the engagement in the numbers that the Breakfast Club does, the guests in the intersection between culture, hip hop, politics, all the things. If you can find a show that does it, tweet me, at me. Y'all know I'd be outside in the streets and in the tweets. I want to know because when people criticize platforms like the Breakfast Club and then moments like this happen, I'm like, do we, especially black people, do we not see like why we
Starting point is 00:39:24 should champion what we have? So like if your issue is that the Breakfast Club doesn't always have all the information. Say that. Don't say, hey, breakfast club should no longer exist because obviously Donald Trump sees the beauty and the goldness in a charlemagne the god in a breakfast club. So does Lauren Trump. They don't look like us. But that list that I'm talking to you about that didn't come from a person that looks like them. It came from a person that looks like us. Y'all see where I'm getting at? So I'm going to head on out right now because I'm sure you guys are already pretty mad. But make sure you guys tune in. At the end of the day, I tell you guys all the time. There's always so much that we could be talking about. And y'all could be anywhere
Starting point is 00:40:01 with anybody talking about it. But y'all choose to be right here with me when you do it. And I'm always so grateful for you guys, my lowriders. Make sure you guys tune in for my next episode. I had a lot playing today. And then Trump decided to wake up. And I don't know, Charlotte must have been paid child support on time. I don't know what's going down. But baby, it got the pot going. I will see you guys in the next episode with more. It's always the latest with Lauren the Rosa. Hey everyone, it's me, Katie Couric.
